First thing: what the heck is the "Microsoft I-D"? I haven't seen this

This wouldn't break the current DNS system if we had different rules for
internationalized names than we have for the current all-ASCII names and an
easy way for systems to tell the difference between the two. This is what I

the requirements, I think.
